THE OMAHA DAILY BEE B s s~ Cad——————————— N THE DOMAIN OF WOMAN. | = D= IDWINTER STYLES, | So Accommodating That Every Wom- an May Look NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—Midwinter styles show a wide cholee In hats and neckwear In both the models have lost the eccentric touches which distinguished them at the beginning of the season, and so much are the leoks of the wearer considered that the woman must be plain, indeed, who cannot be sulted. The broad flat hats, which, in some cases, are trimmed In a way to hide totally the low erowns, are still prime favorites, but Jaunty, side-tilted effects are pressing them | close for popular favor, while the creeping | n of other brim styles with the old high back-lift seems to indicate that 'this ex- | aggerated flatness is on the wane, | Already & eoncession to becomingness is | made with these platelike shapes, which needed to be pushed so far over the face that they sometimes revealed awkward lines at the slde-head, They are now lifted | at the back by a crown band so as to slant | them sharply from this polut down to the front. Trimmings of many sorts overlay the plece and rest against the hair. er Best. = with the ends. This new detail was lately displayed In pale gray blonde net, & ma- terial which also formed the outside trim- ming of the gray felt hat Neck Adornments. Unquestionably the smartest neek adorn- mente of the season are of fur, but sinca these now must lie ve flat the rough imi- tation furs are not always good purchases. Better cvery time a minute neck plece in real skin than three yards of boa in imita- | tion; and It this eannot be managed, get the imitation In as small quantities es pos- sible. | A neat little neck scarf In an unclassified | pelt, 1s a short flat plece, divided at the ends Into two talls. Reddish brown, in u very becoming shade, is the color of this, and $7 will buy it. Longer neck scarfs, in black bear, in the very flat shapes, can also be had at reasonable prices. A fad with all large collars is to wear them loosely about the shoulders. Some- times, indeed, they are disposed in & man- ner to suggest the ancient perlod when women wore their scarf and mantilla ends | looped over the arms. The effect is eharm- ing when the ehoulder plece is in pelerine | shape, in which quaint cape style there are by the exercise of that were fashionable for walsta several seasons ago. Violet, apple green and a rieh golden brown are the predominating colors, and the old-fashioned look of the stuft is hidden by an outlining in black bebe vel- vet. Following a very handsome scrolling, a border of this material runs completely around the shoulders, with a V point back and front. This border is repeated in a band around the sleeves. walst {s made of the violet borders of the handkerchiefs, laid in unstitched tucks. A band of the scroll work edges the stock, and another the wide sleeves, which fall short over puffs of cream lace. There is also a narrow-tucked vest of this lace, which s set oft at the throat by a cocky little cravat of the silk. MARY DEAN, INVENTION MADE A FORTUNE.

Half a dozen varieties comprise the output and the cakes are not cheap by any means. They are good and they are in demand, and it 1s not unusual during the middle of the day to find a double row of women around the counter in the little shop waiting to give orders. It is a wise woman who | knows wherein her talents lie these days and in most cases she reaps a profit from the understanding of her talents and her | Uimitations, THE HANDS IN WINTER, Precautions by Which Chapping May Be Avolded. One of the minor {lls to which human | flesh 1s helr when winter's chilling blasts search out and discover weak spots is roughness of the skin, particularly of the hands. The chief reason of this common, but annoying accompaniment of cold weather is that our skin losing its elasticity because of a lack of natural secretion at a time that atmosphereic conditions do not induce perspiration, becomes unduly dry and contracted and so Is llable to crack. It is a tender skin that will do this, because | tender skins are thin and delicate and can- not stand what rougher ones will Another cause is carelessness in drying the ekin after washing it,. particularly if it is washed immediately after coming In. Very many persons in cold weather dare not wash their hands either before going UNDAY, NOVEMBER 30 1902, hand, but every woman can have a beauti- | tully kept hand. The perfeet hand, accord- |ing to Firenzuola, an Itallan author of the sixteenth century who wrote a “Dislogue on the Beauty of Women,” has fingers long, slender, tapering somewhat toward t| tip. The nalls should be transparent, like pale rubles among pink roses and leaves of ‘(h" pomegranate flower; not long, not | round nor altogether square, but of a falr shape and with a very little boss, uncov- | ered, clean and well kept, so that, at the base, the little white crescent is visible Above, beyond the flesh of the finger, an edge should be seen as wide as a small knife 1s thick, without the smallest suspicion of black at the tip. And the whole hand must be of a tender, firm surface, as though it were of fine silk or of the softest cotton. Things fo There are tea sets of all styles and sizes and in extremely pretty designs. Chineso candlesticks in shape of bamboo stalks, mounted on old brass, are novel little decorative pleces. Among the prettiest things are the little | marmalade jars in colored glass and nickel. | Austrian glass flower holders in the new- est designs are beautifully iridescent. The newest shaped wine glass is of much more generous proportions than formerly, 80 they need not be filled to the brim. The tall champagne glass 18 also newel than the usual saucer-shaped one. Perfectly plain pottery pleces, more par- ticularly the Japanese, Chinese or Dutch makes, are best in keeping with the pre valiing United Crafts’ furnishing scheme: The plain Rookwood effects, Grueby and Newcomb, are also admirable for the same purpose. Cut glass candelabra and candlesticks are much favored at present for dining table ey S LA Under-brim trimmings, placed at the left side of the head, are the beautifying touches of the other hats. Short ostrich feathers and velvet grapes are favorites for this purpose. On a big, flat turban of bright blue velvet and sable a bunchy black tip had been employed for the coquetry, and another, posed above the crown on the right, balanced. Purple grapes, used in this way are very beautiful on violet velvet tur- ,bans, which may inelude lace as well as fur in thelr makeup, Laces in High Favor. Indeed, never was lace more used upon headgear, and in the delicate blonde and {blzantine webs, which are superseding the heavier weaves for hat trimmings, one finds the most charming deckings. Espe- clally is this the case when the fragile laces are cascaded at the back, which effect, 1t not the newest In the world, is still suf- clently in demand to be considered by the smartest milliners. Wire hats, covered entirely with these cobweb laces and trimmed with narrow edges of sable and crush roses, are shown by one fashionable house for evening wear. These and hats of stouter laces, fur- trimmed, are considered much more ele- gant than those with only lace garnishings. For morning wear a flat hat of plain or fancy cloth, with wing or quill trimmings, 18 considered a styllsh top-piece for tailor gowns. Such a head covering, when it is properly made, however, is by no means cheap. Any price in the 'teens may be charged for it evén If only cloth, a wisp ot velvet and two quills are used. A firm famous for tallor-made headgear has almost the exclusive sale of these sim- Ple hats. The caretulness of their make and the good taste of the different styles Mccount for their costliness, Dressy Hats, For fetching etyles in both simple and dressy hats the afternoon parade on the most fashionable street in the new world, New York's Fifth avenue, is an admirable object lesson to the woman who is uncer- taln what to buy.

Turning from these all-absorbing details to entire costumes, there was a costume seen the other day on a fashionable street which in charming originality was perfect. Nothing could have been simpler than its materials, and nothing could have been more unpretentious than the model of the #own whose delicate attractiveness did not entirely ignore conventional ethics. Deep plum cloth with narrow ribbon velvet in the same shade made up this masterplece, with glimpses through a bar- | Ted treatment of the new brownish-yellow lace. In the skirt this barring took a | curving scallop at the sides of an over- | drapery, which fell over a plain apron. The bodice was of lace covered by a round Eton of the cloth, made rich with a lace collar and elaborate puffed sleeves. A novel band of the transparent barring over the | lace also showed on the sleeves, the top of which were ornamented by a cap effect | made by the collar. Shoulder straps of the velvet ribbon scemed to support the little | Eton at this point and the fronts were held together by three tie strings which were attached to the garment by amethyst buttons. With this went a hat which one might describe as “squashy” In shape. A soft puft of plum velvet with blackish shading shaped a brim rolling slightly away from the face at each side. The low broad crown and the fall at the back were made of satin grape leaves in vivid shade of green. Individuality in Dress. Taking this unusual style as one example of the growing taste for individuality it 1s quite evident to the stiMent of dress that the best costumed women think out their own clothes, The time has passed when the dress- maker and the milliner may command | everything, and, if the woman of elegant protension has any aptitude for dress, she can cultivate the gift to the highest point, It should be the duty of the tasteful to set the fashions and not to follow them, even it the venture may at times require a little courage. | I am 80 poor,” sald a clever New York &irl recently, “that I have to make my own styles.” So from materials that the shops | mark down as 0ld-fashioned she sometimes compounds the bewlitching creations.

Honey rubbed into the skin, while still wet, drying it in as the skin is dried, is also a preventive of chap- ping. If hands were dried more carefully there 1 would be less roughness of the skin. A good | plan s to dry the hands well, after using the towel, with an old, soft, silk handker- chiet, which will absorb any molsture left.
